- Bible reading
- intentional prayer
- spending time all by myself, without obligations such as homework (aka resting time)
- sleep
- other stuff that has nothing to do with this post
i was already doing all of those, but with not enough consistency.
it is my intention to start being more intentional with ministering to people in an intense, casual, everyday, deliberate sort of fashion. i admit i'm at a bit of a loss as to specifics, especially after this next year. but i do know that in order to be effective doing this, i need to be prepared to give as much of myself as possible to people. which means preparing more of myself to give. i need to have at my disposal as much social, mental, emotional, and physical energy as possible, as well as time and spiritual equipment. this will certainly be tricky, since there are already so many demands on both my time and energy, and will continue to be, at least as much as ever. but we'll see.
so anyway... the beginnings of a plan to be more prepared overall.
